palestinian triumph an israeli diplomatic defeat as you and i were well mainly votes to recognize palestine as a sovereign state. and draft constitution based on islamic law gets the seal of approval from egypt smiles the lawmakers with the opposition calling for mass protests to boycott the charter. i am the world's most famous whistleblower join us on promises more astonishing we've leaks revelations as he speaks exclusively to our team i think with warren embassy in london. this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow eleven am in the russian capital i'm marina joshie

palestine as one long awaited recognition at the u.n. after more than two thirds of member states voted in favor of a grating it status the decision came as a blow to israel and the u.s. who harshly opposed the move calling it's counterproductive right after the historic vote my colleague sean thomas spoke to our correspondents in new york and tell of eve as well as an activist in gaza. one hundred thirty eight countries including russia voted in support of the draft resolution that now elevates palestine status to non member observer state palestine will be able to join the international criminal court this would allow palestine to press for investigations into israel's practices in the occupied territories it would also be able to join the u.n. agencies forty one countries abstained from voting on the resolution and nine countries voted no that includes the u.s. u.s. ambassador to the u.n. susan rice addressed the general assembly calling palestine's un bid

a provocative action and also encouraged palestine and israel to resume direct negotiations clearly this changes the dynamic very much so within the u.n. general assembly while palestine is not considered does not have full membership at the united nations having this member of server status is extremely symbolic and does show at the end of the day where the international community does stand on this issue all right now harry you are in gaza as we speak what's the mood there on the ground at the moment and do you think this good will actually change anything on the ground. well gazans are jubilant about this result. because. the policy and president. abbas and i mean this here

in gaza. city was. to receive the change anything on the ground in gaza. but in the west going with the illegal settlements. on the space station point project on a city in the sea it was ok i don't think that the army who were drawn on that will be rolled back as a result of these increase it legally. that will be affected by this in our state. things now paula how israel taking the news of this vote so far. well when the israeli ambassador to the united nations one poser put forward his address to the united nations general assembly he was essentially with those entering what has been and continues to be the israeli point of view he said that the palestinian leadership made a mistake in making this but in the first place he said that the resolution was one sided and then it did not in any way address the security concerns that the state of israel has he also said that it would push the peace process forward further

backwards rather than move it forward and this is a view that we've heard repeatedly from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he says that the only way forward for a two state solution is direct negotiations at the negotiating table between israelis and palestinians and cannot in any decoration of the state are first having these negotiations going toward a long lasting peace now we have heard already cold calls for sanctions we certainly have heard earlier this week from the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman who says that he needs to be an extreme reaction to the palestinians if indeed they go ahead with this but certainly the in the recent days and in the recent now was there has been a toned down israeli reaction so if we as they sensed that the blood was going to go the direction of the palestinians we know also that the israelis have been scared of making any kind of statements that could be used against him in the future but at the moment in his role the reaction was muted it was very much

expected that the book would go in this direction. reporting there are falsely are in tel aviv and marina forty nine to your work and activist harry fear and. now despite israeli and u.s. claims that the u.n. vote creates obstacles to peace the palestinian leader insists amos to breathe new life into negotiations and russia's ambassador to the u.n. his interview with r.t. says he agrees the vote might just be the lever needed to get talks back on track. today is an important day it's sixty five years ago that the resolution was adopted by the general assembly about dividing palestine and creating two states only one of them has been created israel now we believe it's high time to move towards. setting up the other state the palestinian state and this appear an opinion obviously is shared by those countries who voted for this resolution the international community is fed up with the conflict countries in the united nations

believe that dramatic steps need to be taken in order to have this conflict resolved so good to have the talks move in a way which would have been the preference of most including russia through bilateral channels between the israelis and the palestinians within that it would be very wrong if this vote to were to turn or somebody were to try to turn it into further confrontation between the israelis and the palestinians. while the u.n. vote to be seen as a failure of israeli diplomacy it also calls into question america's policy in the middle east u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has called a recognition of palestine unfortunate saying it damages hopes of peace but such rather it is only damaging washington has run the brute out of her and palestine chronicle dot com. what hillary clinton has actually said can only be understood within the old context the us is an evil to get out of the rot it's political rot

of many years partly the united states its is stuck in its own foreign policy of all it is incapable of adapting to a new middle east to the so-called arab spring to the new realities that are emerging from the region it is still trying to side with the israeli lobby is trying to back israel right or wrong along with few islands that are kind of basically exist within within the american political sphere it's embarrassing day for american foreign policy today yet they persist and they refuse to depart and leave that all status quo politics today was this this amazing historic chance for the rest of the international community to challenge the u.s. and israel and their dictates and to say in one harmonious voice that we do support in principle the establishment of

a palestinian state. historic vote prospects for peace are also the topics for fear as debate and the latest edition of crosstalk and here's a taste of what's coming your way next hour. that's not the way to run an issue of the people who want to have a homeland yet people want to have a home and it's not enough to have declaration you have to build your nature george that. romney is completely. clearly not suffering from. but i'm not sure why he's the problem there is the power students won't negotiate if you read through go toward to your record the one conclusion you reach the. is nothing. it's like the children's song that we always from the bus go round and round and the reason nothing happened is because. let's support international law and resolve the conflict and. we reject the international

law we're going to this resolution become flipped on the terms that suit us. now. to dominate its constitutional assembly has passed a new draft constitution opposition leaders are already calling for mass protests against the charter that's based on shari'a law saying it cracks down on freedom the country's been shaken by over a week of violent turmoil sparked by president morsi is moved to assume your absolute power as journalist bell truce says newcastle to sion is only likely to escalate the unrest. well there's quite a few articles which are quite contentious now being discussed today as they were read out while the members of a constituent assembly were voting on them one in particular who for which award which is the highest islamic authority legislative scrutiny another one is article ten which gives the state the ability to maintain moral behavior again. quite

unclear in addition military trials for civilians are still being allowed in the constitution this is been an ongoing campaign by revolutionaries since january two thousand and ten because it's actually illegal under international rule and he said this practice of trying to be seen from a miniature judges and they seem to be very on ethical babie own going clashes now she directly below us just off the square as you continue now on the phone he and my colleague tom bottom is that he is today and he has this report. in the center of cairo they protesters have emerged from around the side of this building in a cycle of to and fro to battles with stones and take gas with the police the police just stood over there and they keep emerging and firing tear gas canisters back at the protest as the protesters all morning have been rocking cars and trying to pull the dole soft smashing windows and throwing stones they've also been

picking up the take aspirin age of the police and throwing them back at the police some of the stones lining a bit closer now that the police come back and this has been going on for about two days now it's back and forth bottle last night they set fire to buildings on the police and the protest is dragging back casualties who have been without eyes were trying and choking on the take gas and head injuries and other injuries from the flying stones all of this set off by muhammad missed his declaration last week runs to themselves sweeping by was people in tough risk where haven't seen such violent protests there more peaceful on the larger protests as well they want to send the message rescind this rescind this announcement rescind these powers you've given yourself they're supporting largely the country's top judges to be on strike and they the judges say that they will not allow this measure despite mohamed morsi

trying. to say he is trying to find a compromise very much focused on trying to get back. to egypt's push to helpfully get further towards democracy and away from the violence that we see around us. now with the growing unrest in egypt as well as protests in libya and tunisia manny analysts are now questioning just how much change the arab spring has brought to these countries and this guy an edge to count sound out there fear is that is stead of a better and brighter future these nations may actually be sliding towards agree more a fate. less than two years after the egyptian people ousted the all powerful hosni mubarak mohamed morsi granted himself even more power than his predecessor head to the special the kray president morsi makes sure that no court can challenge his decisions. that the president's power grab brought hundreds of thousands of egyptians onto the street with a shared says that their aspirations were being betrayed. unfortunately replace the

corrupt regime of mubarak with a regime that is more strict and violent the draft version of egypt's new constitution inserts new islamic references into the country's system of government and keeps in place an article defining the principles of shari'a as the main source of legislation when they're not in power there are moderates. in the united states and washington the various islamic organizations that dominate in the us but when they come into power they put a lot grip on power and so actually establish an islamic dictatorship the sense of betrayal and disappointment has not left the street so tunisia the first country to witness an arab spring uprising unemployment there skyrocketed in the wake of the revolution and is now at eighteen percent of our demands are the same as those that have been made during the revolution we want jobs development in the region and the equitable sharing of wealth we also demand the dismissal of the governor who has

done. i think for this region but it's comprised of development here as the arab spring unfolded less than two years ago the obama administration jumped on the bandwagon of the revolutions hoping to forge better alliances with the new leaders . in libya the u.s. prompted the change with airstrikes and arms supplies we've seen policymakers here in washington trying very hard to present the arab spring as a success story up until september washington had the revolution in libya as a foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the firepower which led to the capture and the killing of moammar gadhafi only after the tragic attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador there did leave you come back into a spotlight and the chaos that we see there now flies in the face of that success story narrative protests frequently disrupt operations at the main oil refinery in western libya while the new government in libya has little or no control over the numerous militia groups the civil war has left the country shredded to pieces with

radical islam is taking advantage of the chaos. in the post-revolutionary north african countries despair and violence have replaced the hopes of the spring in washington i'm going to. artie's been inside ecuadorian embassy in london to speak was julian assange. do you think that something is no it is called ok could ever happen again. what's the time next year you know we are. in good spirits that we can leaks founder says he's healthy least of his concerns when it comes to reaching goals plus. this is all useless we have already given the so much money and they should start to peel law but it's not the germans are becoming increasingly angry a dig in greece out of its debt hole this is the country symptoms before an aid package for the struggling.

a lovely quiet morning a family gently sleeps in district heights maryland when fifty armed f.b.i. agents stormed the house and guns drawn despite the family pleading that they were unarmed the law enforcement agents opened fire on a weaponless teenager my asian huli thankfully sholay suffered minor flesh wounds but the key issue is that it remains unknown as to why the house was stormed so here in america for no reason guys in black uniforms storm someone's house oh loads of rounds i left with no justification or explanation yes the family still doesn't know why this happened the f.b.i. is remaining silent you know i understand that there are some very bad individuals out there doing some very bad stuff at home but if you don't even really know whose house you're storming or why you're storming it then maybe you should lay off the

siege for a while you know what take a few minutes to think it over have a cup of coffee and maybe even do a little google search about the fourth amendment but it's just my opinion. more news today violence is once again flared up the phone and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are rooted a. culture is that so much different and there's a huge music to share her mind with the mark of a historic vote yes but will it change anything on the ground the palestinian bid to upgrade its international legal status at the united nations was. do we speak

your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angola's kidneys stories. for you here. in troy i'll teach spanish to find out more visit i. cut. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture. welcome back here watching r.t. live from moscow with me marina joshie the world's most famous whistleblower join us salinger's again in the headlines as the media speculates on the condition of his health meanwhile assad himself promises more sensational classified disclosures as he speaks doherty's loris miss adequate door an embassy in london and were he's been holed up for almost six months. as any journalist working in london now is i'm pretty familiar with standing outside the ecuadorian embassy waiting for julian assange is to come out and talk from the balcony just to my right here but this evening i've been inside your embassy to talk to judy and i saw he's recently

written a book a book called cypherpunks freedom and the future of the internet and that's what he really wants to talk about at the moment and we did talk about that we talked about how he sees this increase in state surveillance is hugely damaging for the entire fabric of society how companies and governments can minute the internet for data that is placed there willingly but unwittingly by citizens all over the world let's just listen into a little bit of what he said about that we all think of. some kind of potomac rome where we can throw our ideas and communication with pagers and books and i exist somewhere out there actually very exist on web servers who are physically controls this controls the realm of our ideas and communications and whoever is able to sit on those communications channels can intercept entire nations and that's when

you're gaining power joining us all as has been cooped up in the embassy behind me for more than five months now and you may have heard reports in the media in the last couple of days that he's developed a lung condition but in fact his people are saying that there is no young conditional that he does have quite a pervasive cough actually looks pretty pale quite thin but he seems to be in high spirits but the possibility the specter of a serious illness has raised questions about what the government of this country would do if he was ill with their loud medical help to go into the embassy would if he had to get out to go to hospital would they use that as an excuse to arrest him he at this current moment doesn't want to talk about his personal situation he's much more interested in talking about the book that he's just read. of the back of the program that he made but nevertheless that concerns about his general held when i asked him whether there could ever be a leak as significant as cable gates of which we've caught just in the two year

anniversary he said that we should watch this space do you think that something has lowered just cable kate could ever happen again and that would have a similar impact. play next year. but what's the time next year when you go into it but hopefully earlier all the way to do we should watch out for that you can see my whole interview with judy in ourselves later on in the program . why it is lorson is there as she just said the full interview was julia sound is coming your way at eleven thirty am g.m.t. . europeans have united for another collective show of anger as doctors from all over the continent have been protesting in portugal workers from spain belgium and other e.u. states have marched to the parliament building in lisbon to voice their anger at the looming cuts resulting from a new law for poor workers a pattern repeated protests comes as the latest bailout deal for greece which remains of the center of the continent's debt crisis is set to go through the

german parliament well there's growing frustration in the powerhouse both among politicians and the people about the costs the country has to bear for the rest you are just pure all over reports. the vote in the german parliament on friday isn't just a vote on greek financial aid it also being seen very much as a test of course of poverty as chancellor the opposition parties in the parliament that's what she's going to have to prove to them that this latest round of financial aid is in germany's best interests if there is a vote for it what this latest package essentially means is that for twenty thirteen germany is set to lose around seven hundred and thirty million euros to implementing these latest measure is mr wilson in the city that is enough because we don't see this money ever again. at some point it should be stopped it's high time they were capable of helping themselves. but some

day we could also go broke this arlen specter. this is all used we've already given the so much money and they should start to pay. that is my opinion and there's nothing more i can say. it does seem after debate that took place on thursday that the majority of the the social democrats in the green party will get on board with a proposed aid package for greece most important for until a merkel is making sure that her own coalition stay on side and stay all message in a test vote on this issue that took place earlier in the week we saw ten members of anglo merkel's own party vote against her we're going to see a general election here in germany between september and october of twenty thirty where angela merkel will be looking for a. chancellor and she's going to need the support of her party under the we've got

the qualities that make up the coalition so this vote well it's a one person for grace but especially important wrangler merkel and her hopes of reelection. over there now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world. old syrian government says it has regained control over the road leading to the nation's main international airport after intense fighting rebel forces out earlier several international airlines a span of flights to the masses because of the battles internet services were also down in the country where the government and the opposition blaming each other for the blackout. and much anticipated and wide reaching record into media standards in the u.k. concludes the british press needs a tougher form of self regulation underpinned by legislation prime minister cameron supports most of the findings aiming to make the press's relationship with politicians more transparent so suggests some measures that may restrict free speech the two thousand page document followed inquiry into phone hacking case against now defunct tabloid newspaper the news of the world. at next year and it's

many these humble dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia. with cabbage and jam making sure you can have many as a starter main dish. although it may draw the whole of us most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting only if you decide to participate. when you look upon mountain. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by. the dog. it's inhabited by siberian a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians.

and this. israel siberia maybe not the stuff is approaches but distinctive enough to show that the old days yes' siberia still not quite like kenya where else. to speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots p.r.p. interviews intriguing stories are you. trying. to find out more visit our big teeth don't call.

came. in to. follow in welcome to cross talk on peter lavelle a historic vote yes but will it change anything on the ground the palestinian bid to upgrade its international legal status at the united nations was passed by the general assembly with a huge majority but in this vote actually moved the palestinians toward the goal of a complete sovereign state of their own and create the conditions for a lasting peace with israel.
